Introduction to Testing in a Service Oriented Architecture and Using soapUI — A 1-Day Course

Course Overview

Please note that this course has been retired and is no longer available. Please see the Software Testing page for courses currently available in this subject area.

Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) are formed from standards based components called services. The testing of SOA based systems requires a new strategy for testing that specifically addresses individual services.

This course introduces new tools and concepts that are critical to understanding SOA and how SOA should be tested.

The course is highly practical to give attendees the best chance to develop their skills in this technology.

Course Objectives

On completion of this workshop, attendees will be able to:

Describe the main standards that are core to SOA

Describe the way in which existing code can be migrated to SOA

Understand the changes in the test strategy from a conventional development project

Understand how services can be tested

Use soapUI to carry out functional and non functional testing of a service

Intended Audience

This course is aimed at all levels of test analyst and test manager. It would appeal most directly to people who have previous automation experience such as QTP or WinRunner.

Prerequisites

There are no pre-requisites for this course. However, a understanding of fundamental web principles, some previous involvement with test automation and basic knowledge of Java may be an advantage.
